21 Apr 5 Reasons Dallas “BOLD Just Logistics” is a Must Attend!

`

Last winter and the start of 2018 have been so busy (thanks to BOLD) that I haven’t even had time to share with you all I learned at BOLD Summit last September – THE 3-day intensive Business of Luxury Design (BOLD) conference for designers in the luxury market. But I can tell you the #1 thing I learned – BE BOLD or go home.  (I know that’s a cliche phrase, but it’s true if you’e an entrepreneur cause no one else is going to do it for you.)

Your single opportunity, if you live in Texas, is to head to Dallas this week for the BOLD Logistics 2-day workshop April 24th and 25th.

Let me just say that we at Deborah Main Designs have been going BOLD ever since the Chicago conference and you should too!  Here’s 5 reasons why:

1. It stretches you out of your comfort zone,
2. It opens up new opportunities you never thought possible,
3. It teaches you practical tools to use in your business,
4. It connects you with other like-minded designer, and
5. It gives you more confidence.

I know that last one sounds a bit funny, but the more you put yourself out there, the more confidence you get.

Case in point: I made a conscious decision after attending BOLD Summit that I was going to LEARN how to sell our luxury pillows.

Everyone’s got something that’s a challenge, and talking to retail buyers on the phone (in person I’m fine) is my #1 challenge. So, I had to address the elephant in the room – Sales.

I learned that the best thing I could do for my business was to acquire sales skills and call stores directly. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard this is for me!!!   I’ll go into that in more detail in a future post, but I wanted to share something I personally took away from attending BOLD.

Me and Julia Molloy at BOLD Summit, Chicago, September 2017.

Being in the same room with the talented Julia Molloy (who does indeed have Molloy Magic!) and many other smart, creative designers from across the country, is THE best thing I’ve done for myself and the 14 years I’ve been in business. It’s not easy, but if you’re ready, just do it! And it’s fun and inspiring too!

Next week is Dallas Design Week at Dallas Market Center (with lots of learning opps and CEU’s for interior designers) and “BOLD Just Logistics” will be in Dallas, the first of four cities the tour is doing this year.  Founder Julia Molloy realized how valuable the BOLD Summit was to the design attendees, that she developed this smaller, personal, but equally powerful, version to spread her BOLD magic to more interior designers around the country. If you’ve never met Julia or attended BOLD Summit, THIS is the event to attend!

Sign up quickly HERE as there’s only a few spots left. And the best part is, through the generosity of Dallas Market Center, you can use this coupon code DMCROCKS at check out and it will take off $500!!!! So your price is only $249!

Till next time, enjoy this opportunity available to you, and watch for our post on what happens when designers get together for dinner coming this week!
